OYAL I TALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. Mr. GYE h as the honour to announce to the Nobility, Gentry, Subscribers, and the Public, that the Opera Season of 1864 will commence on TUESDAY NEXT, MARCH 29TH. The forthcoming Season will be the Eighteenth of The Royal Italian Opera, seventeen years having now elapsed since its original establishment. It cannot but be a source of pride and gratification to the Director to reflect that he is again enabled to place before his Subscribers some account of the arrangements which he has wade for theft entertainment, well calculated to sustain the pre-eminent position held by the Royal Italian Opera among the greatest Lyrical Establishments of Europe. It will be seen by the following slight outline that the company of Artistes is of unprecedented strength. It in. eludes, each in thei r p ar ti cu l ar emp l oi , th e three greatest Prima Donne, the four most renowned Tenors, and the three most celebrated Barytonea in Europe; while the Basses have been reinforced by the two most esteemed Artistes in Italy and Germany. Mademoiselle ADELINA PATTI. Maine. ADELINA PATTI will return with fresh laurels gathered during the recess. This young Artiste has, during the past winter, visited her native city of Madrid, in which capital she was born on March 19th, 1843, and where, ne it well be imagined, the display of her wonderful talents -wag received with the most unbounded enthusiasm by her c ompatriotes. Madlle. PATTI was honoured by several personal inter views with her Majesty the Queen of Spain, she received many distinguished marks of favour from the Nobility and O entry,while the Public, notwithstanding that the prices of admission to the Opera were raised beyond all former pre cedent in Madrid, filled the theatre to overflowing on every night of representation. On the 19th of August last, when thaCongress of Ger man Potentates met in the City etwFrankfort-on-the- Maine, Madlle, Patti received the distinguishedhonour of being specially summoned to perform on the occasion of the Grand Gala Fete given by the Authorities of that city to the assembled Sovereigns. As expressed in the journals orrinces." the day, Madlle. Patti literally sang to a "Parterre de P From Madrid Madlle. Patti proceeded to Paris, and is there fulfilling her second engagement to the satisfaction and delight of the abonnees of the Theatre Italien. The Repertoire of Madlle. PATTI, of unusual extent for Re young an Artiste, now includes the Operas of " La Son nambula," " Luci di Lammermoor," t , La Traviata," "Martha," "D on P asqua l e ," " Di ror ah," " Il Barbiere." Don Giovanni," "La Gazza Ladra," &c. In addition to these, Madlle. PATTI Mill appear in the characters of Adina in "L'Eliair d'Amore," and in that of Maria in "La P.iglia del Reggi men t o ," w hi c h s h e p e rformed, for the first time, at the close of last season ' • she will also appear, and for the fi rs t ti me, i n the part of Susannah in " Le Nozze di Figaro," and in Margherita in Gounod's Opera of "Faust." Mademoiselle PAULINE LUCCA. It is indeed a rare event in the annals of the lyric stage that two young Artistes of extraordinary and commanding talents should appear for the first time almost simulta neously as candidates for public favour. About the same period that Madlle. PATTI made her first appearance at the Royal Italian Open, Covent Garden, the musical world of Germany was sounding the praises of a young Artiste who just then had made her debut at the Royal Opera at Berlin. This debutante was Mdlle. PAU.- Lucck—her youth, her beauty. and her wonderful - voice, soon placed her securely in public favour, and in a very short time the Prussim Government presented her with an engagement for ten years. The Director of the Royal Italian Opera was naturally anxious to afford an opportunity to his subscribers to hear so interesting an Artiste, and towards the end of last Season, was enabled to procure (by special favou r ) of the R o y a l Hof-Theater llirection of Berlin, permission for Madlle. LUCCA. to give three representations in London. The success which at tended the young Artiste on the occasion of these three performances will not easily be forgotten by thc.e who witnessed them. Madlle LUCCA returned to Berlin full of honours and succeeded in obtaining, by Royal favour, 1.1,..te a nnual conge of three months ; an d it i s th us th a t M r . .- 1 1'e has been able to secure her services for the greater -portion of his coming season. _Madlle. Lucca. will make her debut in Meyerbeer's Opera " Lea Huguenots." She will then perform the cha ractert of Margherita Gounod's Opera of " Faust ;" then Figaro; of Cherubino in Mozart's Open., " Le Nome di , afterward.; that of Mrs. Ford in Nicolay's Opera, _ ,L t he Merry Wives of Windsor • and lastly the great IN of Catarina in Meyerbeer's Grand Historical Opera, L'Etoile du Nord." Mademoiselle EMILIA LAGRUA. It has never been the habit of the Director of the Royal Italian Opera to herald forth the praises of Artistes about to make their first appearance at his Theatre, however great their continental reputations may have been ; and in the !..13.58 intention Lof the engagement of Mademoiselle Lagrua it is not i to depart from this custom any farther than tai expre ss a ve y confident hope that this Artiste will sus s in London the reputation which she now enjoys abroad, viz. —that of being, in the Opera Serie, by far the g r eatest d ramatic singer of the period. _Mademoiselle L agrua will arrive early in the S eason , make her fi rs t appearance in the character of Norma. "She will also sustain the character of Leonora in t O La Favorit e " D onna Anna in "Don Giovanni," Leonora in Fidel!c;, ," Desde mona i n " O te ll o ," L eonora i n ' Tro vatore, ' and the principal role in Verdi's new Opera " La Forza del D estino," which was originally composed for peter u ring her engagement at the Imperial Theatre of St. sburg. Amon g th ose who, this Season, will solicit for the first ante theapprobation of an English audience are— Mademoiselle DESTINN (From the Imperial Opera of Vienna) Mademoiselle GIUSE PPINA TATI. (Front the Royal Opera at Lisbon) Mademoiselle GARULLI (Frew. La Scala, et Milan) signor SCAL ESE (From the Theatre Italien, at Paris) Signor ATTRI (From La Pergola, at Florence) and Herr SCIIMID (From the Imperial Opera, at Vienna). "The appearance of Signor WACHTEL may also be con sidered as a debut, unavoidable circumstances having ob- Iliged him to return to Germany after having appeared but three times at the EA yal Italian Opera in the Season of 1862. Since that time Signor Wachtel has become at tached to the Imperial Opera, at Vienna, under an en gagement of six years duration, interrupted only by a short annual conge, Signor WACHTEL will make his debut in the character of Mantic°, in " It Trovatore •" he will;thentperform that 'of Arnold() in " Gugliehno Teil ;" and attorwards the role cf dean de Leyden in Meyerbeer's Grand Opera, " La Plnaete." Notwithstanding these new engagements, it will be eb• it,)rved that the many favourite Artistes, whose talents have 'so long supported the Royal Italian Opera, have been re tained, and that the Director is thereby enabled to recast 'Pally of the Operas, and to impart to them an unprece merited strength and completeness. Mademoiselle MARIE BATTU, now holding the high 'position of chief Prima Donna at the Academie Imperiale de Musique, in Paris, will perform for the first time, the c haracter of La Contessa, in Mozart's Opera of " Le Nozze di Figaro." Mademoiselle BATTU has kindly offered to at ug also the part of Adalgisa, in "Norma," on the occa sion of the debut of Mademoiselle LAGRUA. Mademoiselle ANTONIETTA FRICCI will sing, for the .6r at time, the part of Bertha, in " Le Prophete," and that of t)onna Elvira, in " Don Giovanni." Madame DIDIEE will sing her original part of Pregiosilla 111 " La Forza del Destine." Signor Roiecom will appear, for the first time, in the c haracter of Pasquale and in that of Fra Melitone in " La Forza del Destino.,, ' Signor TAMBERLIK will appear, for the first time in - "gland, in his original part of Don Alvaro, in Verdi's n ew Opera, " La Forza del Destine, and, for the first time these six years, that of " Otello." Monsieur FAURE will perform, for the first time, the 'character of Nevers, in " Les Huguenots ; that of Figaro, i ,n, " Le N ozze di Fi garo ;" an d a l so hi s grea t ro l e o f P e t er the Great, which he performed upwards of 100 nights in Paris, in Meyerbeer's Opera, " L' Etoile du Nord." Signor GRAZIANI will perform, for the first time, the c haracter of Guglielmo Tell ; that of " Il Conte in "Le Nozze di Figaro ;" and his original part in Verdi's new Opera, " La Forza del Destine. Signor NAUDIN, who so firmly established himself in the good opinion of the Subscribers last year. will, in addition ,to his other parts, perform, for the first time, that of Elvino i n " La Sonnambula," and that of Roberto in " Robert le Diable." Signor MARIO will perform, for the first time these eight years, the part of Nemorino, in" L'Eiisir d'Amore ;" also, for the first time these seven years, his celebrated character of Fernando in " La Favorite ;" and, for the first time, that of Faust. Mr. GYE feels assured that the subscribers will be gra tified to know that he retains the invaluable assistance of Mr. COSTA. ENGAGEMENTS. Mademoiselle ADELINA PATTI, Madame DIDIEE.

This Company has been constituted as an auxiliary to the " Contract Corporation." 2. The Company will undertake the construction of Rail ways and o ber public works as dis lulu shed from the busi ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally of the negltiation and acceptance of contracts, end the finan cial measures connected therewith. 3 The two Companies will work in harmony, but inde pendently of each other. 4. The opera , ions of this Company will be conducted by the eminent contractors Messrs. Smith amt Knight, who have transferred their whole bu-iness and interest on hi. hly ad vantageous terms ; all their valuable plant and existing contracts (including that for the construction of the Royal Sardinian Railway recently entered into) being ceded to the Company.. The plant will be paid for in cash, and the re maining interest principally in shares, such shares being taken with £5 only per share credited ;hereon. 5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present se-sion for powers to cmstru .t branch and ad itional rail ways, and the sell-known increasing demand for railways and other public works, not only in hurope and the colonies. but in all parts of the civilised world, open a wide field for the profi , able employment of capital. 6. The Direc ors consider that, wi h all the elements of success, viz., a large working capital, the assistance of a powerful finane al corporation, c Ripled with the experience an 1 superintendence of parties conver-ant with the pra• tical &tails of the business, with an identity of interest, the pros pects of the Company are such as are seldom brought under public notice, 7.

The Directors of Bonelli's Electric Telegraph Company (Limited), having established a line of telegraphic communi cation between Manchester and Liverpool, the working of which has proved, even beyond expectation, b )th practicZy and commercially, the unrivalled excellence of Bonelli's ro om, propose to extend their operations throughout the U n ited Kingdom. Each message is printed by the very act of transmission, in clear Roman characters, and as so transmitted is delivered cl uing all to the receiver, thus absolutely ex cluding all possibility of error between the sender and the receiver. The automatic nature and simple working of the Bonelli instrumen t renders it independent of specially trained, and there f or e highly paid manipulators. The necessity to which all other telegraphic establish ments are exposed of increasing the stair or operators in pro portion with the augmentation of business, does not exist, consequently, any increase of business must prove al and, most absolutely clear profit. Prospec t u ses and forms may be obtained from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors or Secretary, at the Offices of the Com pany. Each application must be accompanied with a deposit of Lt per share, which will be returned without deduction if no shares are allotted. From the date of issue until the final closing of the lists the Bonelli instruments may be seen in operation daily from Twelve to 1011 r, at 7, Angel court. MESSRS. BOTT.

Until this - cycii'tliti imieelliik*Pk e o always been held at Hornsey-wood, bikt tle - AgrleislltW.`,/,Ce,,, hall, Islington, being in every way so nini;li liatei - tidalstet.--/ for these games, it was unanimously chosen eiethe plitee o 6 meeting yesterday, and the change in the rendezvous was a source of satisfaction to all the visitors. The centre of the hall was enclosed in a kind of long arena thickly laid with tan and sawdust, while the galleries and ground floor were set aside for the use of sectators, who went through the form of paying half-a-crown or five shillings for reserved seats, but who, when once the little bargain was transacted, were left to find room in the crowd as they best could. All the arrangements, in fact, connected with the stalls and re- ' served seats were total failures, as far as regarded giving the visitors what they had paid for. Much of these blun ders of mismanagement may, no doubt, have arisen from the meeting held for the first time in a strange place, but most assuredly they will require to be corrected if publie, support is looked for in these displays. The games were opened with a hurdle race, which was won by Mr. Robinson, and this merely pre!iminary bus:- ness over, the wrestling begau with the Lomlon men of 11 stone—that is to say, with Westmoreland and Cumberland men who have resided in London for a certain specified time. The names of those who were to contend were chosen by lot, which led to some very unequal matching in point of size, and the games were divided into several rounds, the many winners of each round afterwards contending among themselves till the numbers were so reduced that at last the best men stood face to face. It is needless to go through a ' very long list of competitors, all of whom came on their heads or backs or shoulders with more or less of violence as they were thrown one after the other. When the sixth and last round was called only three remained to contest it —and these were a man named Tyson, Pearson, a soldier of the Artillery, and Coulthard,a very powerful young man, who had thrown all his antagonists with a strength and skill that made him beyond all dcubt the favourite of the three. Tyson and Pearson struggled first, and the rather shifty manoeuvres of the latter to prevent Tyson getting his hold prolonged the commencement far beyond the patience of the audience,who were loud in their expressions of disapprobation. At last they closed, and a keen and most exciting contest followed. Pearson for a moment tottered in a most critical position, when it seemed almost certain that he must be thrown heavily, but by a sudde - j exertion of equal strength and agility he managed to ' tree himself, and threw Tyson a clean back fall heavily to the ground. He was far less fortunate, however. with his bigger and more powerful antagonist, Coale atard. They began the struggle almost at once, and in - .a instant Pear son was thrown with apparently little 'dart on Coultherd's part. In the final struggle, howev• ,r, the winner has to get two cut of three falls, se that 1 : - earson had still two more chances if he could have av ailed himself of them. But in the second effort he was, more completely defeated than in the first, for Coulttend lifted him at once and flung him even more heavily than before. Immense applause greeted the winner, who was carried on the shoulders of his com panions in triumph round the hall. The next contest was at the high jump, with leaping poles, for which a great many competitors entered, Pear son, undaunted by his late defeat and exhausting struggles, among the number. The bar to be vaulted over with the leaping pole was first fixed at a height of 7ft, and as all the competitors, in turn el:dared this with ease, it was raised 3in at a time. Up to Bft all passed it easily, but as it gradually rose from Bft '0 9ft the numbers rapidly diminished. At the height of 9ft 3in only three competitors were left. Theeo 'were Pearson, the Artilleryman, and two very young Wen—Musgrove, the winner of this prize last year, and Baines. Beyond 9ft 3in all Pearson's efforts failed to get him, and Baines and Musgrove then took up the contest, and continued it till the bar was raised to the astounding height of lift. It was almost marvellous to see the skill and activity winit which these two young men cleared the bar, Musgrove always being the favourite. The latter never threw himself an inch higher than the jump required, and always did it as his first attempt. Baines, on the con trary, though evidently capable of jumping as high as his competitor, was far less practised at the game. He seldom pitched his pole in the right place at first, and when ho did so often failed to raise his body sufficiently in passing the bar, so that he nearly always made two, and some times three efforts before he succeeded, and in this way exhausted his strength. At 11 feet he gave way, and failed to clear it quite, and Musgrove, for the second time, was declared the winner, amid loud applause. When he had won Musgrove asked for the bar to be raised to 11 feet three inches, and this astonishing jump he cleared with sufficient ease and adroitness to show that it was well within his limit. In the wrestling for all corners most of the men who had previously won in the former games en tered again, and there was as much difference in their per formances on this second occasion as there is in the merits of horses in different courses. Pearson, the Artilleryman, was still among the select winners of the rounds, but ho met his match in a professional wrestler named Davison, who flung him easily, and then Allison, a short but com pactly built man, and a most accomplished wrestler, was matched against Coulthard, champion of the day. Coul thard seemed to think that he had nothing to do, end as it turned out, he had very little, for the instant Allison's arms were round him, ho drew his huge antagonist in, and to the utter astonishment of every one, flung him heavily. A person named Blair, also, was most successful, till ono of the most wonderful wrestlers of them all, 'Watson, throw him with ease. Allison was then matched against Davison, and the struggle was very keen, and seemed doubtful for some time, till, at last, Allison got his grip firm, and ; lifting his taller and much more powerful ants gonist, threw him easily. Only 'Watson and Allison there fore remained to compete, and the struggle between these two was one of the most arduous of the day. Watson was the tallerana more muscular man, but what Allison wanted in height and strength he amply made up in skill and acti vity. In the first effort 'Watson threw Allison, in the so cowl Allison threw 'Watson, but it was evident that he did so with great difficulty, and that his previous struggle with Davison had exhausted him. In the third effort, as all had foreseer, Allison was defeated, after a most gallant, but ineffectual struggle, and Watson was proclaimed the win ner of the All Comers' contest. Other wrestling matches, followed, and the games were prolonged till nearly mid night. The whole display was one of a most interesting kind, and with a better arrangement with regard to seats and keeping the ring clear, and, above all, with such cur tailments as will shorten the performances by some six hours, these meetings may be made among the most popular sights of the year. Birmingham and Midland Counties Show. A meeting of the council was held yesterday at the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, for the purpose of settling the prize list and the regulations for this year's exhibition ; the Right Hon. Lord Wal singham, the president, was in the chair ; there were also present the Mayor (Mr. William Holli day), Mr. C. M. Caldicott, of Holbrook-grange ; Mr R. C. Chawner, of the Abnallo, Lichfield; Mr. Baldwin (Worcestershire), Mr. William Woodward, Mr. 2'. B. Wright, of Perry-bar, Staffordshire; Mr. John Lowe, and other members. A satisfactory financial statement was presented by the treasurer (Mr. John Shackel), and some further additions were made to the prize list, which is to be issued immediately. At the close of the meeting the noble president was invited to luncheon, the Mayor occupying the chair. In proposing the health of his lordship, his worship expressed his great grati fication at the friendly feeling which now existed between those engaged in manufacturing and agriA cultural pursuits, that having, unhappily, not always been the case ; but, he said, in a s e o g f r a e r e a t s o th b e e locality about Birmingham was concerned, he con saitdterribetlatetdhetocthhaeligesetawbalsishimn establishm ent and successful pro gress of this annual cattle and poultry show, of which the whole community felt justly proud. The Mayor further said that he regarded it as a great compliment that so eminent an agriculturist as Lord Walsingham, who had no interest in Birming se o m n e c e e t r i n n e g d . , s l h n o a u e l n h o a w v travelled fa s ro afar t o propertyatten d 's t a hse mg l e officerdg een t i t ag s ofpf ol t er h a e ts hu t er o pleasure president,st )t' e r t whichis Lord e W h a a l s d i n f g e felt a i ni n e a x c p c e r p e s t i s n e a g the th c a o n m d n i n p s p h r o o w m . o t i n n g e f t e h r r e n a g r r t a o n tghee observations made by the Mayor, his lordship said that, although not yet an old man, if it had been sug gested to him at an early period of his life that he would one day become the president of an agricul tural society held in Birmingham, lie should have thought, to say the least, it was very unlikely; but his position on that occasion, and his reception, only served to convince him of the desirability of bringing all classes and interests together as closely as possible. His lordship concluded by proposing the health of " the Mayor," which was acknowledged by his worship.
